First of all, let me wish you a happy and fruitful month of March. As a feminist, I tend to observe it as a woman and as an activist, and this year I will be sharing this with you in this column. I hope we can learn together, discuss grave and light matters and have fun.

Let us get some definitions out of the way so that we don’t get bogged down by unnecessary misunderstandings and sneaky patriarchal twisting of feminist concepts, actions and values.
